"If human civilization had been destroyed and the earth was a
cultural wasteland, if all a young cook had to go on was a recipe
collection preserved by T.G.I. Friday's, then he might come up
with this flabby mash-up of a menu, on which every overwrought
dish is an amalgam of international fast-casual concepts."

"Weenies in too-big, spongy fat-suits of batter pass as corn dogs
($9.50), sitting in a mess of gochujang-flavored ketchup. You've
had finer corn dogs from a box."

"A few years back, [Morimoto] tried a fast-casual concept in the
D.C. suburbs, a P.F. Chang’s rival that fizzled with only one
branch. Tribeca Canvas, his slightly more upscale return to the
same lowbrow arena, is destined to be just as much of a flop."

"Desserts, all saccharine crowd-pleasers, aim just as low as
everything else."
